yeah, but how does an experienced athlete like powell get caught on race
day? brain lock, memory lapse, what? btw, we talking about a bitter orange
extract here. is this what we should be stressing pofessional athletes over?

If your whole career hinges upon your authenticity as a natural athlete, I
think there is no such thing as too much when it comes to being careful
around drugs or potential performance enhancing substances. It’s naive of
people to think Powell was tricked or something. With million dollar
sponsorships on the line, it’s ridiculous to think he would be so clumsy.

Still sounds like some bias hatred to me. All top athletics have their
secrets for Asafa, Yohan and Veronica it was oxilofrine to burn fat faster
so less practice is more. Tyson used steriods Gatlin used Testosterone
Jones THG all for explosive power for higher velocity.

Asafa was busted for “oxilofrine” , its used to burn fat faster, its the
same that Yohan and VCB used which should be about a six month ban.Unlike
Tyson who sadly for steroids will be banned for a while, 3 years at least.

I can see you’re desperate to believe a drug cheat rather than accepting
the fact that Jamaican athletics is rotten to the core. I suspect it’s a
national pride thing. Frankly your excuse making and rather pathetic
whining cuts no ice. He’s been caught and the others will follow, that’s
all there is to it.

‘Verroken, who now runs her own sports ethics consultancy, Sporting
Integrity, questioned whether Powell may have used supplements whose listed
ingredients do not tally with substances mentioned on the World Anti-Doping
Agency’s banned list’ ..The Telegragh July 22,2013

Boxer Brian McGee tested positive for oxilofrene. He received a six months
ban after he proved that the substance found in his system was not taken
intentionally as it was not labeled on the supplement The former director
of ethics and anti-doping at UK Sport, Michele Verroken warned that
athletes were being “set up to fail” drugs tests by the lack of regulation
of sports supplements…she said it had become increasing difficult for
athletes to tell which substance was banned and which were not

Oxilofrene is a banned substance by WADA and is found in “stimulants:
section S6” in section “b: specified stimulants”…. there is a greater
likelihood that these substances could be susceptible to a credible
non-doping explanation, as outlined in section 10.4 of the World
Anti-Doping Code.” Oxilofrine is known to be derived naturally from citrus
fruits and is found in many vitamins.Interesting that it is banned in
competition but not out of it.

Banned substances do not equal PED’s.There are nearly 1000 banned
substances on the list most of which are not PED’s and are commonly found
in the food we eat.Its funny that this banned substance was recently put on
the banned list after being perfectly acceptable for athletes to take for
years.WADA is known to throw any and anything in there .Caffeine and cold
medicine were once on there and recently removed.You are the same one that
would accuse an athlete of doping if they drank green tea.

Powell is the start of what?.Powell has tested negative 100 times and only
failed one drug test.He tested positive for a stimulant (not a PED) when he
hired an unqualified Canadian fitness instructor in May 2013.His team and
coach and warned him against associating with the man.A stimulant does not
make you go faster especially the one that he was found with which makes
you dizzy and jittery, sprinters worst nightmares.Case being why he ran
10.02.Please know your facts before you write crap.
